Dirty Martini
written by: Lindsay Soberano Wilson
She walks into the bar
single and alone:
no one calling her on the phone
no kids back at home.
Dressed to the Nines.
Nothing but primal instincts on the mind.
Her sexual energy is as intoxicating
as a Dirty Martini.
So call her Martine tonight.
Mix her just right
and top her in earthly delights.
Then drink her until you pass out
from the high.
